These women are portrayed more than characters but as people. Their scenes facing different personal challenges are genuinely moving to see but when the three of them are together discussing their lives make it even more entertaining. It felt like watching a historical episode of Girlfriends at times (remember Girlfriends? The show starring Tracee Ellis Ross back in the 00s?)

Recently there has been a good amount of film with a similar theme of social injustice. From The Birth of a Nation to even Zootopia these films brought out strong messages of discrimination and racism people face in communities today. But none of these films are as powerful as Jeff Nichols’ Loving.

Because we’re in 2016, everything that has to be remade has to be given EPIC BLOCKBUSTER SEQUENCES WITH OVERUSE OF CG. That is exactly what this film is, an epic summer blockbuster which is everything it shouldn’t be.
